. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The White Sox broke the six-game winning streak of Bill Singer by jumping on the righthander for four runs in the seventh inning to defeat the Angels, 5-3. Singles by Ken Henderson, Dick Allen and Bill Melton produced the first run in the outburst. After Rick Reichardt forced Melton, designated hitter Carlos May smashed a homer for the winning blow.
